If your home has siding, no matter what kind it is, it’s not going to last forever. If you’re at the point where you’re looking at new siding, you may be wondering what siding color to choose or if you want to change the style siding you have. As an experienced Knoxville and Nashville siding company, we have some tips for you to help you choose something that will improve your home’s curb appeal.

Siding Styles

Most homes with siding have vertical lap style siding. Today’s siding styles are much more varied and include:

• Dutch Lap
• Beaded
• Clapboard
• Shingle
• Shake
• Board and Batten

Although your home may only have one style now. It’s common for homeowners choosing new siding to select two different siding styles. Usually one is the primary and another style accents a dormer, bay window or other area of the home.

Color

Just like paint colors inside your home follow trends, so do the siding manufacturers. There are many more siding colors available today and, the pigment stays true much longer than older siding. We recommend you look at the other elements of your home like your roof, doors, trim and windows and select a complimentary siding color. Just like mixing siding styles is more common today, so is choosing more than one siding color.
